Warbird Class

Rick D. , Jim V. and myself have talked about getting pylon racing started at the AMA. We have had some conversations with a few of the board members regarding this and they are recepetive to it. We still have the portable pylon stands from GQF and can set up in the lower portion of the parking lot facing the berm or possibly in the future at the berm just past the runway.

Here is what I am thinking.

Keep it cheap, easy, fun and inclusive to as many people as possible. If it becomes popular a more advanced class could be added at a later time.

Airframe specs: Prop foam kits, 16 oz min take off weight to 32 oz max take off weight. Examples - PZ T-28, PZ P-51, Airfield 800mm wardbirds or any other purchased kit that will comply with the above specs. The specs are wider than usual but for good reasons that encourage participation.
